Happy Halloween from Tattoosday!

Here at Tattoosday, we're celebrating Halloween by posting the spookiest tattoo seen in the last month or so. Well, maybe not the spookiest, but certainly the most holiday-related tattoo:

This was offered up by Robert, who I met in Borders Penn Plaza last month. And yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is Frankenstein driving a Chevy (that's the stick shift he's gripping). Robert credits Adel at Addiction NYC with this tattoo.

Thanks to Robert for helping us celebrate Halloween here on Tattoosday!

Death of Fangs

His final Note :

Dear World,

I am not some psychotic fuck or pathetic loser trying to end my torturous existence. I am not one of those faggots, using suicide as a cry for help. I have a very good reason.

I am not drunk, upset or lonely. I am not doing this to protest against anything. I tried to adapt in this scorched World that is filled with nothing but lies. But, The Demon has come to claim what is his.

I lost my bet with The Devil Himself. I told him I would sacrifice Sinners to fulfill his hunger but I was too late. I failed and I will take it like a champion.

I am at the top of the mountain pissing down on the rest of you. Unfortunately, the days ahead of me will never be as good as tonight. So I have nothing to look forward to.

I have done what I had to in the past and I have no regrets today as I write this note. I will surrender to The Devil and face whatever punishment that will be placed on me, while in Hell.

It is truly the best night that could and will ever be, which is why my life must end tonight. Life can now only get worse. Nothing is left for me here in this horrid World.

-Diamond Fangs-

P.S. Tell everyone I'm not psychotic.

Ashlee Channels Snow White

This work in progress is on Ashlee's arm:

The tattoo features Snow White at the top of the arm, with the witch's hand proffering an apple, wrapping around the arm:

Ashlee explained that the tattoo is commenting on how superficial the world is and how the idea of Beauty was the downfall of the title character, at least until she was rescued from her poison-induced slumber.

The tattoo is the work of Eric at King Pin Tattoos in Harker Heights, Texas. Work from Kingpin appeared previously in August 2008 on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Ashlee for sharing her work with us here on Tattoosday!

Wizard tattoo-for the magical side

A wizard tattoo is extremely popular amongst males as well as females. They show your belief in magic and fabled stories. When a woman inks such a tattoo, they signify their inner magical powers while for men it may signify power.

The person wearing a wizard tattoo tells the world that he/she has the magical powers and is suppose to deserve some respect from others.

It also states that some of their desires can only be fulfilled by magic and probably that is why they want to carry the wizard on their body for the rest of their life. Get that mystery look to your personality with this tattoo.

Ganesha tattoo-respected representations of God

In Hindu mythology, Ganesha or the “lord of the hosts,” is one of the most celebrated and respected representations of God. Ganesha, sometimes also referred to as Ganapati, is the first born son of Lord Shiva and Parvati.

Ganesha, with his big belly, intellect, wisdom, four arms and the conspicuous head of a one-tusked elephant, is an enigmatic figure is the world of art too whether it’s sculpture, painting or tattoos.

Ganesha tattoos are not that famous, owing to the confinement of worshippers to the Indian sub-continent only and also because skin art is still in its infancy here. But still, it holds a unique charm with its figure, colors and an impeccable blend of different forms of life.

Ultra Violet tattoos-make a glowing impact

If you’re sporting a tattoo, it’s clear that you don’t want to look normal and endeavors to make an impact. But what about making a glowing impact? Yes, you can do that with the help of sparkling Ultra Violet tattoos. UV ink is not a new concept, but in the recent years its popularity has skyrocketed.

The charm of UV tattoo lies in the fact that it appears invisible under normal light and emerges under black lighting, morphing the design completely. Also referred to as black-light tattoos, the art has blossomed amongst body art enthusiasts, especially youngsters who want to look discrete.

However, people are skeptical regarding safety concerns associated with UV tattoos owing to the chemical composition of the ink. As per reports, people sporting UV tattoos are more likely to have skin rashes and infections. It’s better to make sure that ink doesn’t have phosphorus and is regulated by FDA.

Harley tattoos-Go get yourself some inkitude

It is a common knowledge that everything associated with Harley Davidson has always stood for outright masculinity. Also Harley stands for boldness, the willingness to walk that extra mile, and choosing adventure over the stereotyped paths.

Unlike other tattoos, Harley tattoos are boldly flaunted to send across a message of toughness.
Bikers are often seen to flaunt these Harley tattoos. And they usually choose arms or back of the neck as the positions to get the tattoo done.

The common characteristic amongst all the Harley tattoo designs is the boldness that they flamboyantly depict. Variations can be done in the design, but normally people don’t experiment much with the color combination.

Nesting Dolls and a Zombie, Courtesy of Kristin

Last month, I ran into Kristin at the Penn Plaza Borders store.

She has ten tattoos, but the piece on her shin was the first one I spotted:

These Russian nesting dolls represents the friendship Kristin has with her friend Kyle (thus, the merging of their names into "Kryle").

It was tattooed by Bret from Electric Tattoo in Pasadena, Maryland.

Kristin also shared another tattoo, one certainly more appropriate for our current season. Check out this amazing tattoo:

This cool zombie piece was inked by Kike Castillo at Timmy Tattoo in Huntington, New York.

Kristin says that Kike is one of her favorite artists and she is happy for him to provide her with great body art. "He needed someone," she told me, referring to this particular tattoo, and "I'm always game". Tattoo artists love clients that let them do their thing, and you can tell with this great piece of art.

Thanks to Kristin for sharing her cool tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Amanda's Phoenix

Amanda has two tattoos, one of which she shared with me at the end of August in the Penn Plaza Borders store.

This is the tattoo she designed:

Amanda was inspired by the "compelling mythology of phoenixes" and had Bobby at Modern Age Tattoo in Nanuet, New York, translate the design into the final product.

The quote, in Latin, "post tenebras lux" means "After darkness, light". This mirrors the life cycle of the mythological phoenix who dies, bound in flame, only to be reborn from the ashes. Clicking here will display the vast array of phoenixes that have appeared on Tattoosday previously.

In other words, even when things appear their darkest, affirmation is just within reach.

Thanks to Amanda for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Gary's Three Knuckles Speak Volumes

I spotted Gary standing at the top of some escalators in Penn Station. As I passed him, I noticed he had knuckle tattoos so I stopped to ask him about them:

Gary explained that they are Korean characters

that translate to "Soo Bahk Do," or "The Way of the Striking Hand".

Soo Bahk Do is a form of martial arts that originated in Korea.

This unassuming gentleman has studied the form for seventeen years and is a third degree black belt. Gary studied at East Winds Karate in Port St. John, Florida.

The tattoo was inked at a shop on Eight Avenue in Bayonne, New Jersey.

Thanks to Gary for sharing his "striking" tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

O que é Microdermal

Uma tendência a surgir forte nesse verão é o Microdermal – ou Dermal Anchor. Mas o que é exatamente o microdermal?

Microdermal é a arte da implementação de uma jóia na pele. Tecnicamente é um piercing, mas se assim pode ser chamado, deve-se antes atentar para uma diferença importante:
Enquanto o piercing tradicional possui a nessecidade de 2 furos, um para a entrada e outro para a saída da peça , o microdermal precisa de apenas 1.
Outra diferença, entre um piercing e o microdermal é o preço. O Microdermal costuma ser o dobro do preço de 1 piercing. Claro que depende da escolha do que será colocado. Mas para efeito comparitivo em material de mesmo valor, o preço é o dobro mesmo.
A cicatrização do microdermal é mais rápida do que a do Piercing.

A maior vantagem do microdermal é que por ser feito de duas bases e usar o sistema de tarracha, pode ser trocado sempre que o usuário desejar.

 É... com tantas diferença assim , é melhor você chamar o Microdermal de Microdermal e o piercing de piercing.

O preço de um microdermal, também está diretamente ligado a técnica usada para sua implementação; Existem no Brasil 3 tipos de  técnicas de microdermal bisturi, agulhas e  punchs .

Bisturi:
É uma técnica bastante traumática para a pele, pois é feito um corte na pele onde é introduzido a base do microdermal. Ainda se corre o risco da joia não se fixar corretamente e escapar da pele durante o processo de cicatrização.

Agulha : Tida como a técnica mais rápida, porém o risco de rejeição da peça tende a ser maior que na do Punch, pois a jóia ficará muito colada pele, causando-lhe traumas e tendências a quelóides.

Punch - Essa técnica, sem dúvidas é a melhor, nela são utilizados aparelhos para biópsias, de forma a retirar um pequeno pedaço cilíndrico da pele, onde será acomodado a base. O punch é pouco utilizado no Brasil, devido a seu preço de custo e dificuldade em se encontrar o tipo ideal para a microdermal.

O material usado na base da Jóia, pode ser tanto o aço cirurgico quanto o titânio. Desses dois materiais, o titânio é o mais indicado por ter baixa incidência de rejeição ( Nos EUA, calcula-se 2%). O grande problema do titânio, é ser um objeto raro aqui no Brasil e bem mais caro que o aço cirúrgico.

Microdermal na maça do rosto

Algumas cores do microdermal: A variedade de forma e cor são inúmeras e podem ser trocadas de acordo com o humor do usuário.

O brilho da varinha da tatuagem da fada Sininho ganha um "tudo a ver" com o uso do microdermal

Lindíssimo toque especial no olho de Hórus, feito com o microdermal.

O microdermal é um toque de classe na tatuagem, o importante é usar a imaginação e claro, procurar um profissional competente.

Você tem uma foto de seu Microdermal e gostaria de exibi-la aqui no Estimulanet-Tattoo ? Então mande-a para descharth@estimulanet.com

The Tattoosday Book Review: Kat Von D's The Tattoo Chronicles

You can say a lot of things about Kat Von D. She is arguably one of the most well-known tattoo artists in the United States, if not the world. This fact, to old school tattoo enthusiasts, is not necessarily a good thing. She is the star of the hit "reality" series, L.A. Ink, has her own make-up line at Sephora, and on October 26, her second book, The Tattoo Chronicles, is being released by HarperCollins Design. And whether you love her or hate her, it's hard to argue the fact that this book, like its predecessor High Voltage Tattoo, is a lovely effort that looks and feels amazing.

Like her first book (reviewed last year on Tattoosday here), Kat Von D lets you into her world, with glossy detailed photos of her work and clients. But whereas her first book shows mostly her public persona, the new effort gives us an inside look at the inner thoughts and feelings of someone who is portrayed very much as a "character" on her television show.

It is L.A. Ink that has brought her fame, yet also the scorn and scrutiny of her detractors. The new book lets us peek behind the scenes and, if you didn't realize this already, the Kat Von D you see on the show is not the whole package. Through a diary/journal format, the reader is granted greater access to Kat's true emotions and feelings. We finally get to peek behind the character Kat Von D and meet the person.

It was on Page 44 where I first felt the facade truly come down. She talks about getting booed in the shop by "fans" who resent that she won't drop what she's doing to pose for photos for them, and there is the matter of the stalker who freaked everyone out in the shop. Granted, these are consequences nowadays for success of her order, but you certainly believe that such consequences were not anticipated when she headed down the road to fame.

It is also fascinating to read Kat's frustration with the onset of another season of L.A. Ink. If you're looking for validation that the only thing real on the show is the tattoos, it's here. I was reminded of Charles Bukowski's strong aversion to poetry readings. He despised them, yet they were often necessary as sources of income. The spectacle often outshone the poems. Similarly, L.A. Ink's forced drama often swallows up the tattoos, yet the drama drives ratings, which lets the series continue to showcase tattoos, which is why many of us tune in in the first place.

Whereas I found her journal entries fascinating, as I am sure most readers who are fans of the show will as well, there are still pages and pages of photographs featuring her work (drawings, sketches, and of course, tattoos) that are breath-taking in their beauty.

Viewers of the show  know that this book has been in the making for a while and it has found its way into plot points as well. Fans will also note that the author's relationship with Nikki Sixx, bassist for Mötley Crüe, runs throughout the volume (as it has in the reality series). However, 2010 has been a tumultuous year for the couple, having broken up, and then, quite recently, reportedly gotten back together. All that said, it's very interesting to read about the relationship with a future perspective.

Or, it isn't. If you're not interested in Kat's "personal" life, then perhaps you should pass on this book. I can see her detractors poring over the text, looking for evidence that reinforces their negative image of the artist, one that has been honed by the one-dimensional portrayal of her reality show and the tabloids.

For fans however, and the followers of Kat Von D's career, The Tattoo Chronicles, will be a treat, to be savored, an all-access pass to a window of her life, with a stunning visual guidebook to pore over, with evidence enough to back up her on-air claim of being so busy all the time.

My one criticism would be that we don't see enough of her tattoos, which is really what she is all about. I mean, sure it's interesting to see a full-page shot of her stuffed albino squirrels, but is it really necessary? I would have rather seen more art that she created, rather than collected.

However, in the end, I was delighted with the book. It really adds dimensions to one of the more dynamic celebrities in the tattoo industry. I doubt that it will turn detractors into fans, or fans into detractors, but it certainly provides those who admire Kat Von D for her art, a little more validation that she is a talented, complicated individual that can not only create amazing body art, but knows how to wow us with her pen, as well.
